"I am the messenger from the depths of
death. Carrier of the protection of the planet of ruin, Saturn.
The soldier of silence. Sailor Saturn."

Sailor Saturn is my favorite scout. This shrine
is dedicated to her. In my opinion she is the strongest of the
scouts. Most people agree though some think it is Sailor Moon,
Sailor Galaxia or Sailor Pluto.

Hotaru
Tomoe started life as an ordinary child with two
caring parents. She and her mother and father
lived quiet happily in Tomoe mansion, their lives
filled with joy and happiness. All of this
changed while Hotaru was still quite young. Her
mother died in a dreadful fire, completely
destroying their happy life. Professor Tomoe
threw himself completely into his scientific
studies causing Hotaru to withdraw in to herself
out of sheer loneliness. Hotaru attends Mugen
Gakuen as a first year student. She has no
friends due to an uncanny ability she has to heal
others. Her peers are disturbed by this and shun
her completely. After school she rests her frail
body alone in her fathers mansion, surrounded
only by the dolls and lamps that she collects.
Eventually Usagi and Chibi-Usa befriend Hotaru.
She finds herself becoming close to Usagi and
strangely closer to Chibi-Usa.

One day
Hotaru was watching her father in his lab. He was
working on some sort of experiment. Somehow this
experiment backfired killing all of the lab hands
as well as Hotaru. Professor Tomoe was overcome
with grief. Suddenly the Daemon Maser appeared
and told the stricken professor that Hotaru would
live as long as he gave up his soul. Professor
Tomoe felt that he had no choice and agreed to
the trade. Immediately Hotaru woke up and watched
the Demon Master posses her father. Now that her
father was evil, the Daemon Master decided that
Hotaru should be too. He sent Kaolinite to kidnap
Chibi-Usa because he knew of the heart crystal
and about Hotaru's feelings for the little girl.
Stepping right into the trap, Hotaru went after
Chibi-Usa and her father. Kaolinite told Hotaru
that in turn for Chibi-Usa's life she must take
the heart crystal and swallow it. Hotaru
agreed.......She popped the crystal in to her
mouth and swallowed. Knowing only that Chibi-Usa
was now safe, Hotaru felt a strange and evil
sensation. She felt herself
changing....transforming into the evil Mistress9.

As
Mistress9 Hotaru's only goal was to use the holy
grail to summon Master Pharaoh 90 so that the
world could be destroyed. Together Mistress9 and
the death busters summoned Master Pharaoh 90 to
the earth causing a massive explosion. Sailor
Uranus and Neptune arrived on the scene only in
time to feel the explosion that could have killed
them, but Sailor Pluto paused time, saving them.
The other scouts also arrived, Jupiter, Mercury,
Mars and Venus formed a Sailor Box which inclosed
the spreading evil into a region of about a
black. Sailor Moon was inside because Mistress9
pulled her in to get the Holy Grail from her. The
Demon Master left the body of professor Tomoe to
fight the scouts. Eventually he was defeated and
Professor Tomoe was freed from the evil that had
encompassed him. Seeing his only daughter
possessed by Misterss9 he sought to save her, but
it would not be so easy. Hotaru had to do it
herself. Slowly some memories came back to
Hotaru. She knew that she must overpower
Mistress9 to save the world. Hotaru fought a
battle inside herself, using her memories to
weaken Mistress9. During this struggle the Sign
of Saturn appeared transforming Hotaru into her
Sailor form. Mistress9 was destroyed. Sailor
Saturn transports to Mamoru's apartment where
Chibi-Usa lies weak and sick, She returns the
crystal to it's rightful owner and Chibi-Moon is
restored.

Saturn
returns to the scene of the battle and informs
Sailor Moon that she is going to undo the evil
that Mistress9 and Master Pharaoh 90 brought into
the world.....she was going to Silence it. Sailor
Moon begged Saturn not to go alone and even tried
to follow her into the crater made by the
explosion. Saturn held her Silence Glaive to
Sailor Moon's head and said goodbye. Saturn dove
into the crater to finish what she
unintentionally started. Sailor Moon tried to
follow her but was blasted back. Screaming and
crying, she tried to transform into Super Sailor
Moon, but to no avail, the holy grail was
destroyed. All hope was lost..... Then out of
nowhere Serena's heart crystal appeared magically
transforming her into Super Sailor Moon. She
jumped into the crater and instantly the world
was restored, she returned holding a little baby
in her arms.....Hotaru had died saving the world
and was reborn.
